PHILADELPHIA, Pa. - The Lehigh women's tennis team fell to Drexel on Sunday at the Vidas Bubble. In their first road match of the season, the Mountain Hawks lost a tough one in Philadelphia, falling 6-1.Â

Trailing 1-0 going into singles, Lehigh tried its hardest to erase the deficit, as first-year Hamsa Javagal grabbed a victory over Drexel's Tara Veluvolu 6-4, 6-1.
Against Isabel Cabrerizo, sophomore Megha Dania lost the first set before coming back to win the second set, 6-3. She was unable to hold on in the third, losing 6-0.
